Just wondering about the submission que.

When I first joined this site, the submission que was never longer than one page.

Though around mid-year'ish this year, there was just over the one page - like two or three submissions.

But now there's a start to the third page of submissions.

Just wondering, but what's behind the "slow down" on submissions? Real life getting more and more busy?

I've got no problems with it or anything, but it's just a bit odd from my bored perspective.

It's two pages and one item. Some of the stuff is there because it is or was being developed, which inflates it a bit.

We've had several big judging competitions which have been taking stuff up (eg: Vex is busy with OLY, along with RL and everything else). Uni, etc., has started to consume people in RL as well, etc. It'll be done when it's done, and it'll be done well.

Also there does seem to have been a rather large deluge of stuff in the last few weeks (or am I imagining that?).

I've noticed the influx too. Seems like a minor surge.

More and more stuff is being submitted in heavy vJass, and as if by some twist of fate that means the code is becoming harder and harder to read and is being commented less and less. This makes it difficult to follow, and considering that 99% of my day is spent without access to my WC3 computer, there's not a lot I can do.

You'll notice a majority of the submissions are spells. It just so happens that coding is the hardest stuff to properly test and ensure works properly before approving. Art requires an in-game screenshot, so it in 99% of cases doesn't even require downloading. (Models with animations excluded)

Just bear with us as we try to get stuff done amidst our innumerable other priorities.

I've actually been hit by some strong cloud of procrastination which is enworsened by a freak story developing in another plane of existence in which you guys don't exist. So don't worry, I am still not the victim of Real life, I think I am the victim of something worse, hope this makes you feel better.

Though I think I might get a tutorial ready by tomorrow.

Ah, I see. So it's a lot of bad timing put together combined with the importance of real life. Thanks.
